Let Todd's fish = T

that would make

Andres fish = T + 10.

Together they have 50 fish so...
T + (T +10) = 50
2T + 10 = 50
2T = 40
T = 20

so Todd has 20 fish.

Remember Andres has
T + 10 fish, so...

T + 10 =
20 + 10 = 30

Andres has 30 fish

Check the problem by plugging the numbers into the original equation...

T + T + 10 = 50
20 + 20 + 10 = 50
50 = 50

It checks!

Let's go ahead and construct an equation to show this. Together, they have 50 goldfish. This can be represented as =50. 

Since we don't know how many Todd has, we're going to make a variable. We'll name it T, for Todd.

What about Andres? How many does he have? 10 more than Todd. Well, if Todd's amount is T, and Andres has 10 more, we can express that as T+10.

Now, just put the two pieces together! T+10=50. 

The next step is inverse operations. You want to find out how many T is, so you need to get rid of the 10. To take 10 away from something is doing what? Subtraction! Be warned, though; whatever you do to one side of the problem, you have to do to the other. 10-10 is 0, and 50-10 is 40. Since we took the 10 away and 50 is now 40, what you're left with is T=40.

Wait a second.. wasn't "T" Todd's amount? Yep! That means that Todd has 40 goldfish. And we already know that Andres has 10, so there's your answer!

What is the measure of angle 3?
zheka24 [161]
Angles 6 and 8 add up to equal 180, so 2x - 5 + x + 5 = 180.  3x = 180 so x = 60.  Angle 3 is alternate interior to angle 6 which is 2(60) - 5 = 115, so angle 3 is also 115

What is the reciprocal of 1 and 2/3?
mr_godi [17]

Answer: 3/5

Step-by-step explanation: To find the reciprocal of 1 and 2/3, we first need to convert 1 and 2/3 to an improper fraction.

To write a mixed number as an improper fraction, first multiply the denominator times the whole number, then add the numerator.

So here, we multiply the denominator, 3, times the whole number, 1, then we add the numerator. So we have (3 x 1) + 2 or 3 + 2 which is 5.

Now we put our new number over our old denominator and we get 5/3.

However, we're not done yet. We still need to find the reciprocal.

The reciprocal describes a fraction so when we're asked to find the reciprocal of 5/3, we want to switch the numerator and denominator.

So if we switch 5/3, we get the proper fraction 3/5.

Therefore, the mixed number 1 and 2/3 is equivalent to the improper fraction 5/3, and if we switch the top and bottom numbers, we get 3/5.
